The U.S. Postal Service is holding its own in the era of e-mail and instant messaging—at least in the court of public opinion. Despite its designation as deliverer of “snail-mail” and another increase in the price of stamps, the Postal Service is viewed favorably by 64% of American adults. A Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that just 20% hold an unfavorable view. Older Americans, who tend to rely more on the Postal Service, have a somewhat lower opinion of it than younger adults. Still, even 56% of American senior citizens have a favorable opinion of the USPS.

Rasmussen Reports is a media company specializing in the collection,
publication and distribution of public opinion information.

We conduct public opinion polls on a variety of topics to inform our audience on events
in the news and other topics of interest. To ensure editorial control and independence,
we pay for the polls ourselves and generate revenue through the sale of subscriptions,
sponsorships, and advertising. Nightly polling on politics, business and lifestyle topics
provides the content to update the Rasmussen Reports web site many times each day.
If it's in the news, it's in our polls. Additionally, the data drives a
daily update newsletter and various media outlets
across the country.
